I really hope they do it well. Some of the things that were new in Neuromancer are tropes these days. e.g. the payphone ringing, in the Matrix and more relevantly in Person of Interest.

It's going to be very hard to navigate between faithfulness to the book and still have it feel fresh.

That and inherent difficulty of taking Gibson's prose to the screen. Maybe it will be by voiceover.

Voiceover worked surprisingly well for Murderbot, so I hope we'll see more of that.
